Yes, I’d love to play poker with our Prime Minister any day. Although much younger, I probably would be fine boxing a round or two with him as well because my grandfather, who was a prize fighter in the 1929’s, when you only got paid if you won, taught meContinue Reading
In this cap age of hockey a team must be aware of its asset management or it ends up like Detroit or Chicago, or sadly, Los Angeles. Going nowhere for the hope of a shot. In the Habs case it’s really bewildering as it’s core has not improved this seasonContinue Reading

When you have to face a decision too many pet owners deal with the last thing you want to do is worry about cost or questions about whether you’re a regular customer of a vet clinic. Yet that was exactly what happened to this writer when my beloved cat SamContinue Reading
For some reason this Winter has been the worst I’ve seen in Cornwall since moving here in February of 2004. Not the weather, but City Works lack of clearing snow. But thank goodness the city found that extra $300K to waste a year doing an architectural study for its veryContinue Reading
Black and white TV and rabbit ears!! Those were the days of great comedy , westerns and other shows , all suitable for family viewing. None of the shows had any vulgarity so all the family could spread the rabbit ears as far as they would go and watch ourContinue Reading

You have to give SJ forward Evander Kane credit for taking a run at Zdeno Chara. Even at the ripe old age of 41 Chara can still handle himself as he demolished the much younger Kane quickly. The fight highlighted how today’s NHL is rapidly becoming a mix of pinballContinue Reading
It’s amazing, some of the candid shots that Calvin Hanson captures through the lens of his camera! When I first saw the animal it was swimming in the open water, and it did not have a fish. It disappeared in the water and made an appearance about 4 minutes later,Continue Reading
It’s been a busy trade deadline in some ways. Ottawa was facing the biggest challenge. Out were Duchene, Stone, and Dzingel. Duchene was a disastrous mistake last year. Stone simply wasn’t going to resign with the Sens and Dzingel was a sell high situation. And the Sens needed to fillContinue Reading
I know crazy. While there’s some play off fever going on in la belle province the best situation that’s evolved this season is the recovery of high priced Goalie Carey Price. The man has value even with his contract, heck if LV can give a 30+ goalie in Marc AndreContinue Reading
These snowy days remind me of the winters we had when we were kids. I can’t remember too many days though that the schools were closed unless it was a very big storm. Bet we would have liked that. We walked back and forth to school and attended from 9Continue Reading
You could be forgiven for thinking that all online casinos and, more specifically, slot game machines are created equal. However, in terms of payout percentages, this clearly couldn’t be further from the truth. The large majority of slots players arrive at their game of choice with the preconceived notion that theirContinue Reading

These products may contain harmful bacteria. Consumers should not consume the recalled products described below. The ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries etContinue Reading
It’s fascinating watching the NHL catch up in the cap age. Contract wise agents and GM’s are focusing on new tangents which make sense for both parties. Right now the buzz is over Leaf highly overrated centre Auston Matthews. In this writer’s opinion until you’ve done it in the playoffsContinue Reading
What a wild spot Sens owner Eugene Melnyk has the city of Ottawa and his own franchise in. It’s a Mexican standoff really. No arena deal in place and a team that if it trades its 3 top potential UFA’s will be a motley mess of bad contracts and youngContinue Reading
This is probably my 10th year playing in the dirt. It all started with a small herb garden one year at a friend’s cottage in the Kawarthas. The next year, the lavender all came back, with the chives, and the mint. This is where I learned that mint cannot beContinue Reading
The Optimist Creed is very inspiring. I happened to come across a copy of it recently in some papers. We are fortunate in Cornwall to have a local Optimist Club which was chartered in 1948. According to their web site, the late Norm Ross was the chapter President. There wereContinue Reading
